In Situ Formed Pt 3 Ti Nanoparticles on a Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Carbide (MXene) Used as Efficient Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
Abstract
The design of efficient catalysts capable of delivering high currents at low overpotentials for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) is urgently needed to use catalysts in practical applications. Herein, we report platinum (Pt) alloyed with titanium (Ti) from the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes to form Pt 3 Ti intermetallic compound (IMC) nanoparticles (NPs) via in situ coreduction. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) indicates that Pt undergoes a temperature-dependent transformation from single atoms to intermetallic compounds, and the catalyst reduced at 550 °C exhibits a superior HER performance in acidic media. The Pt/Ti 3 C 2 T x -550 catalyst outperforms commercial Pt/Vulcan and has a small overpotential of 32.7 mV at 10 mA cm -2 and a low Tafel slope of 32.3 mV dec -1 . The HER current was normalized by the mass and dispersion of Pt, and the mass activity and specific activity of Pt/Ti 3 C 2 T x -550 are 4.4 and 13 times higher, respectively, than those of Pt/Vulcan at an overpotential of 70 mV. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the (111)- and (100)-terminated Pt 3 Ti nanoparticles exhibit *H binding comparable to Pt(111), while the (110) termination has an *H adsorption that is too exergonic, thus poisoned in the low overpotential region. This work demonstrates the potential of MXenes as platforms for the design of electrocatalysts and may spur future research for other MXene-supported metal catalysts that can be used for a wide range…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
